Sounds like self imposed isolation. It's dumb when I do that....but I do it. I feel cut off from everything and everyone. And I'm not. It's just a feeling.
The real question is:
Aren't you going to look silly when I tickle you?

heh.
Oh
I'm going to look silly, like an old perverted lesbo? heh heh. It'll be worth it. Fuck it.
Consider yourself virtually tickled.
